administration combats threats to american civilians and wages what it no longer calls the global war on terror. from the very beginning after september 11th, american policy in this area has been constructed through a series of often ad hoc decisions made during the intense moments following acts of violence against the united states. those decisions have then gone on to have tremendous ripple effects and unintended consequences. today as we find ourselves in one of those intense freighted and immense moments, the question of how the obama administration reacts is one we should all be paying attention to. and there is no journalist in america, in the world who has reported on what the war on terror actually looks like under the obama better than any next guest, jeremy scahill. his amazing chronicle of the obama war on terror, new book "dirty wars" publishes tomorrow. the film of the same name will be in theaterers in june. "dirty war" is probably the most comprehensive account to date of ma what america's battlefield looks like, a battlefield constructed with each new drone strike an

well megan one of the loudest arguments against treating her knife as an enemy come combatant is of course the fact that people have been saying guys that we have to keep in mind that we're talking about a u.s. citizen who committed a crime on u.s. soil and involving americans and the largest the biggest argument that legal experts are using is basically if this happens if this person is tried in a military tribunals that would set a major president basically allowing officials to try americans like this and certainly that is something that has been raising lots of eyebrows and you know as we know of course the white house has opted against that option and meanwhile in a fast here the t.s.a. announced today that it will hold off on a planned policy change to allow small knives on airplanes airplanes they were going to allow people to start carrying knives of less than two point five inches long could this be because of the boston marathon bombings is there any connection between the two. well law you know it's hard to say whether there is a direct link in this particular case you like you

i strongly disagree with the obama administration's decision to rule out enemy combatant status for this suspect at this time. >> let's bring in our senior legal analyst jeffrey toobin, joining us from new york. can or should a u.s. citizen be formally given this enemy combatant status? what does the law say? >> every terrorist suspect arrested in the united states, since the first world trade center bombing in 1993 has been treated in the criminal justice system, not as an enemy combatant. standard operating procedure. frankly, the whole status of enemy combatant remains ambiguous in the legal system. the prisoners in guantanamo bay remain in legal limbo. by treating them as criminal suspects, the obama administration is avoiding all kinds of risks and simply acting as the bush administration has in the past and as they have acted in other terrorist cases by using the normal criminal procedures. >> because lindsey graham and others say, yes, he should be tried as a u.s. citizen, should be tried in a u.s. civilian court, but that can await this process of doing some serious interrogation
